How much will ThermiSmooth improve my eye bags? (Photo)

Question

I am a 22 year old who had eye bags since I was a toddler. I am completely uncomfortable looking like this at such a young age and desperately want to end this long term battle of having large eye bags. I cannot currently afford to undergo blepharoplasty and I already tried fillers to no avail. I have been encouraged to Try ThermiSmooth but I only want to spend my money on this if I will see drastic results. I need help! (I blurred out my eyes with green to remain anonymous!)

ThermiSmooth uses radio frequency energy to tighten the skin, encourage collagen production and it can help to shrink fat cells. The beauty of ThermiSmooth is that it is painless, and there is no downtime while still providing great results. It will not completely resolve under-eye bags, but will help the tissue to contract, giving you a most refreshed, and rested look. We recommend a series of 4 treatments, spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Each treatment is approximately 30 minutes long. To maintain results, most patients receive 1-2 treatments every 12 months.

In order for ThermiSmooth to work effectively you would need multiple treatments.  Thermage can be an effective alternative.  Of course none of these non-surgical treatments can guarantee one hundred percent removal of your condition.

Stephen Mandy, MD · Answer

Because you have skin of color, you are not a good candidate for lasers, but it is safe and effective to use radiofrequency devices such as Thermismooth as they do not cause alteration to pigment and for most people, especially younger patients, it is very effective at improving your problem.  I warn patients it is not surgical so don't expect a homerun, but a  solid base hit.
